About these AUDI A1 SPORTBACK 2010-2018 sun shades
Audi A1 Sportback 2010–2018 Custom-Fit Window Sun Shades | SHADO
Custom-measured magnetic sun shades for the Audi A1 Sportback (8X, 2010–2018) — a premium five-door city hatch where every shade is templated to the actual glass on the car. Blocks UV, cuts glare and cabin heat, and keeps the A1's compact cabin cool and private without losing your view out.
Why SHADO for your Audi A1 Sportback?
✅ Measured on an actual A1 Sportback — the 8X's distinct front and rear door glass is templated individually, so each shade follows the exact window line with no gaps or puckering. Built on the same PQ25 underpinnings as the VW Polo, the A1's glass is its own shape — not a generic small-car cut.
✅ Gap-free, seal-safe fit — precise dimensions mean the shade sits flush against the door seal: no warping, no light leaks, no damage to the Audi's seals. Front shades are cut to leave room for the mirror and toll/parking cards.
✅ 100% black polyester UV mesh — blocks UV and reduces glare and cabin heat in the A1's compact cabin, which heats up fast in an Aussie summer. Already tinted? The shades add real comfort on top. No film yet? The shades alone do the heavy lifting — there's no need to film the side glass.
✅ 5100-Gauss neodymium magnets — grip the A1's steel door frame and hold firm with the window down; quick to snap on and off, no adhesive, no suction cups, no tools.
✅ See out, harder to see in — from the driver's seat visibility is preserved; from outside the mesh makes the cabin harder to read at a glance — handy for a city car that parks on the street.
Build quality
Round 304 stainless, not flat steel
Most shades are framed with flat steel wire. It corrodes, and its edge works through the mesh at the fold. Ours is round-profile 304 stainless — it doesn't rust, and it doesn't cut the fabric it sits in.
Visibility
See out, without being seen
The mesh is open enough to see through from inside and dense enough to keep the cabin private from outside. Windows still wind down, and air still moves through.

Reviews
What customers say
Quick delivery, easy to fit, stops the sun cooking my arm on the drive home from work. Can still see through them fine too which was a worry. Happy customer.
Does what it needs to. Bit of a gap on one of my rear windows but it's a weird shape so that's probably more on the car than the shade. Heat reduction is decent, not perfect but way better than nothing.
Had mine on for a few months now through Melbourne winter and the wet. No rust on the magnets, no fading, still stuck on solid. Can't fault them for the price.
Product is exactly as described and I'm happy with the shades. Three stars because I paid for express shipping and it still took over a week. What's the point of paying extra. The shades themselves are great though, no quality issues at all.
Bought for the rear windows for the baby capsule. Fits around the frame well, blocks the harsh afternoon light off her face. Magnets are surprisingly strong, gave one a good tug and it held firm. No complaints.
